Love fast food (in moderation, I.,e., once a month or so)
I know you weren’t quoting me, but I will add that: some local places have MUCH better food than fast food joints, AND they offer takeout. I usually crave Taco Bell when I want junk food, but it’s more of an impulse, I’ve done good and deserve this immediate gratification kinda thing. There’s a place nearby that has really tasty taquitos for a few bucks more than the equivalent amount of Taco Bell.

Save yourself the drive and go to Smashburger instead.
I honestly can’t remember where I was on travel to, but we stopped as a group at a smash burger. We were all tired and it really hit the spot! Pricier than Five Guys, from what I recall, but with premium condiments. I think I got a burger with mushrooms and truffle oil and some fancy cheese?
I would drive three miles for a Smash Burger over a Five Guys burger, but would go out of my way by 10-15 min if we were traveling near one.
I could be wrong, but the burger in the OP looks no better than what I could make at home with some angus ground beef, a little bit of spice and some sauce for extra flavor. I kinda feel the same way about steaks when I go out to regular places. I’d rather get something I wouldn’t normally have or be able to make at home when I go out.
